Polyester not a fabric

Re: removing Polyester from the List of Fabrics list: Why? It is a fabric, is it not? Johnnysama (talk) 15:43, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

No. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 16:10, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

I think I'll keep this for another month, it makes me laugh. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 07:58, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

something...

I thought about saying "Angry white male-ness?" Then I remembered that I'm an angry (mostly) white male. So then I thought about saying "Good-ole 'Murikan muleheadedness?" But then I realized I'm muleheaded, 'Murikan good-ole boy.

As you can imagine, I was starting to feel pretty confused at that point. But then I settled on "a fact-proof, self-centered POV" and realized that I don't have that. At least I hope I don't... ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 13:17, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

I actually cannot remember if I took part in forming that consensus. I think not, as it doesn't enter into my life at all. It seems reasonable to me. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 16:43, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Holiday, (Vacation, for Merkian speakers)

I’m afk same as last year.

I may respond from time to time, and will be back to services as usual within a week from now.

Editing comments

The way your comment was formatted makes mine look like it's in reply to yours when it's actually in reply Blue Raspberry's. My formatting change to make it clear that I'm replying to Blue Raspberry. The way our comments are formatted differently gives the appearance that my comment is directed at someone it isn't actually directed at.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 10:15, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

I noticed that. Fix your own comment, do not change mine. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 10:16, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

The formatting change was to make it absolutely clear that my comment was also in reply to Blue Rasberry and doesn't alter yours in any way. I added the bullet point because the way your comment is formatted affects the way mine is presented. Even if I change the formatting on my comment (I've already tested this out by removing the bullet point or removing the colon without saving the page), mine still doesn't convey that it's in reply to Blue Raspberry. Everyone else is using the bullet point before the colon. Please restore the bullet point because your formatting only makes things confusing.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 10:38, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

No. (add extra colons and remove the * to make your comment appear as you would prefer.) -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 10:44, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Actually, having had my second cup of coffee, I will fix it for you if you allow me to alter the formatting only of your post, if that would be OK with you? -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 10:51, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

As long as it shows that we're both replying to Blue Raspberry, fine by me :)—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 11:05, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

I ought to apologise for being snarky to you. I've altered my own comment too, adding a colon. I hope that this does the trick. I feel a need to comment again, but I wont until you are happy with my alterations. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 11:16, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

This was more what I had in mind but I think we're good now.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 11:21, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

As an aside, I should've discussed this with you and requested you make the change instead of making the change myself (by asking and not just assuming that you was also replying to Blueraspberry). Although WP:TPO does mention something about formatting, I should've discussed things with you from the start by asking if you meant to directly reply to Blueraspberry, so I also apologize for my own lack of prior communication and prior discussion (by shooting first and asking questions later) before modifying your comment.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 14:13, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

This was very rude of me. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 17:00, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Regarding the North Africa Wiki

I just wanted to thank you for your reply on the talk page. I think I might have misspoke when titled what I had to say as defining. I responded to your comment. Also, since I am new, how can I tell when I have sufficient support from Wiki users on the talk page to revert the article back to my changes or leave it alone? The user who disputes my edit has threatened to block my IP address if I make any more changes to the article, calling my contributions vandalism. I don't want to chance getting blocked! Thanks.Itaren (talk) 07:31, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for getting in touch. You can safely ignore the templated warnings placed on your Talk page. That editor has exactly the same rights here on wikipedia as you or I. Only Admins have any power to sanction ordinary editors like us.

With regard to the page concerned, I wont make any suggestions in that area (the attempt to define) as I can't see how the situation can be resolved as there is no defining authority that we can point to. Nobody is being collegiate and trying to solve, just to bludgeon their own ideas in. Be assured that Ryanoo has no more power to block you than I do, or you do to block them.

Feel free to ask me any further questions you may have. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 10:21, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

I'm incredibly grateful for your intervention and input! I have never found myself in a more unpleasant situation contributing before. The article was also generally untouched by onlookers for sometime until Ryanoo came along, which leads me to believe my additions were not "vandalism" and were in fact relevant to the article which they dispute. Anyway, Ryanoo and I have talked a bit on the "talk" page and I am still being attacked for sticking by my verifiable sources and being accused of all sorts of things. I wish I knew more about Wiki formatting to pose a case to the Admins myself but my knowledge with code on Wiki is severely lacking. Itaren (talk) 17:11, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

I will not comment further until the sockpuppet investigation has been completed, there is no point, though clearly I have been (WP:AGF) assuming good faith in this regard, I have formed no opinion.. My attention has been elsewhere in any case, and will be taken away further by health issues for 24 hours at least. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 02:22, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

I am here because I saw a recent Ryanoo edit in the Horn of Africa page and as usual he scraped the words Northeast Africa from it. This person also targeted me and harassed me because I requested Misplaced Pages upholds its integrity to proven facts and not be biased toward a specific racial group but this user objected to it because he wanted to push is racial views. The racist comments he spewed in the talk page of North Africa lead me to believe that this person is a white nationalist and I am baffled Misplaced Pages lets this user run amok. I have requested that the Northeast Africa region be created but the Misplaced Pages editors who work with Ryanoo objected to it. Anthropology, archaeology and dna have shown that in the past there was constant migration in the Northeast Africa corridor representing Egypt, Sudan and the Horn of Africa through the Nile Valley but the words Northeast Africa can't be used anywhere in Misplaced Pages because Ryanoo and his friends would censure it. This level of censorship rivals china and I am convinced Misplaced Pages condones it, so I request that as an Admin you look into this issue too because they are denying Horn Africans their history. Arboleh (talk) 18:38, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

@ Roxy, in the middle. wooF I think that this is clear evidence of what I was talking about Mr. Roxy. I and other users have reported this user Arboleh before for sock puppetry and now he is trying to attack me and do the same thing as the suspected sock Itaren which is another unmistakable behavioral evidence that he is sock of Midddayexpress, This Arboleh also had disruptively edited some Misplaced Pages pages, attacked me, editwarred me, reported me asking for administrator intervention and now he is asking for your help exactly same as what Itaren did!!!. The Somali user Middayexpress ( has the Canadian Nationality ) is a very persistent sock puppeteer who has been using many fake accounts in order to promote his racist Afrocentric agenda and vandalize Misplaced Pages, this user is trying to whitewash Horn Africans and link them to Middle Easterners and North Africans while distancing Horn Africans from their other fellow East Africans brothers which is very racist. At the same time, He is trying to black-wash Middle Easterners and North Africans and linking them to horn Africans:), this guy got really no life, he has been using hundreds of sock puppet accounts in order to vandalize Misplaced Pages and promote his Afrocentric agenda, for example, he is trying to deattach modern Egyptians from their ancient Egyptians origins and link the Egyptian civilization to Sub Saharan Africans who have nothing at all to do with Egypt or Egyptians which is extremely racist and ridiculous!!!. I have already filed a sock puppeting report against him but It was reverted because some other user before filed a sock puppeting report against the same user and the result was inconclusive because he is using proxy. You can check his IP history and you will find that he uses only proxies and that he never logged in through a legit IP address which means that he is trying to hide something, also this account was created shortly after the block of confirmed sock puppets Middayexpress, Soupforone, Geneticanthro, ....etc and he has been making the same edits on the same pages with almost identical edit summaries. You can also check the behaviors of these accounts and Middayexpress/Soupforone, you will find that the behavioral evidence is very clear and unmistakable. I wonder how can such person get blocked and then make a new account on Misplaced Pages and continue vandalizing it while remains unchallenged and me who is battling such vandals and puppeteers is blamed and warned!!!! How come?!!!!Unfortunately, users like this, are why Misplaced Pages occasionally gets a bad name. Those Afro-centrists are 24/7 insulting us Egyptians everywhere and are doing their best to to dattach us from our ancient Egyptian origins and appropriate our heritage and culture and all our mistake is that we are Egyptians!!! which is very racist and offensive, Enough is Enough!!!!! I didn't think that I will encounter such racist people on a main source of knowledge like Misplaced Pages. Thank you. Ryanoo (talk) 19:16, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

@ Arboleh Bring a map and look where your country Somalia is located, you will find It is located in East Africa in Sub-Saharan Africa which have nothing at all to do with Egypt which is a Mediterranean transcontinental country located in North Africa and West Asia. Love yourself and stop trying to lump yourself with Egyptians, Middle Easterners and North Africans because you guys are simply not from the MENA area. Also please stop deattaching modern Egyptians from their ancient Egyptian origins like what you did on the Page of DNA history of Egypt because it is very racist. I am an Egyptian and you know and I know that Somalis are totally different racially, genetically, racially, culturally and in every aspect from Egyptians and other MENAs. Your history is in Somalia which is an East African country in Sub-Saharan Africa, not in North Africa. Ryanoo (talk) 19:16, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

@ Ryanoo, racists like you are what is wrong with Misplaced Pages and why people don't trust it, I hope unbiased Admins deal with you but I don't have a high expectation, however know this, I will continue to fight for an unbiased Misplaced Pages where people like you don't spread racist views or censure facts. Arboleh (talk) 20:44, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

• • Does anybody expect me to read today's contributions to this page? I wont be reading them. see WP:TPG -Roxy, the Prod. wooF 21:00, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
    • Would you like a summary? 'Modern Eqyptians (historically quite legitimately) do not consider themselves of the same background as much of sub-saharan Africa and do not like it when same try to muscle in on what they consider their heritage, despite conveniently forgetting Egypt kept both slaves and military units made up of sub-saharan African background'. Think Greece and FYROM for a similar ethno-geographical conflict. Only in death does duty end (talk) 21:14, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
      • @Only in death does duty end Thank you for your input and by the way I am an archaeogeneticist. I can tell you that we don't consider ourselves of the same background of ALL Sub-Saharan Africa because we simply aren't and our country definitely isn't located in Sub-Saharan Africa. Egypt is a Mediterranean Middle Eastern transcontinental country located in North Africa and West Asia which has nothing at all to do with Sub-Saharan Africans. And regarding the salves and military units, well Romans and others also have Black slaves and military units, so?. I don't think this example of conflict is right, because simply Greece and FYROM are to great extent related racially as well as geographically, which isn't the case at all for the racist Afrocentrists who are trying to appropriate our culture and history ( as well as others history such as Phoenicians, Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, Germans, Chinese and almost every ancient culture on this planet and probably other planets! ). Egypt is a Mediterranean, North African and Middle Eastern, so are the Egyptians!. Thank you.Ryanoo (talk) 21:49, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
      • Thank you. I thought there was a subtext going on from the Talk page, which, behaviourally, is a shambles, and the personal attacks, going in every direction, despicable. -Roxy, the Prod. wooF 21:21, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
        • Keep in mind that is an extremely watered down summary. It doesnt touch on (for example) Cleopatra wasnt remotely 'African' (she was from a Med dynasty - there are on-wiki disputes about this in oddly of all places, about Liz Taylor being an example of white-washing in film casting - how can you whitewash someone who wasnt black being the response), the various points Eqypt was conquered from the outside (Hyksos and so on). Egypt (like Greece etc) has a rich and extensive history that many can only envy. The two sides of the coin being they want to protect it, and others want to associate with it. Only in death does duty end (talk) 21:30, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
          • Thank you again for your input!! By the way neither Cleoparta nor the Egyptians were even remotely Africa, both were Mediterranean, Cleopatra was Northern Mediterranean while Egyptians were Eastern Mediterraneans.Ryanoo (talk) 21:47, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
          • I knew the Liz Taylor thing, but probably from reading found here, as My knowledge of this stuff is next to zero. -Roxy, the Prod. wooF 21:35, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Roxy, I read your comments where you said you’ll withhold your input until the SPI investigation is complete. Fair enough! Hope your health improves soon, health comes first! Itaren (talk) 23:51, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

wwoof wwoof

you have email JarrahTree 10:18, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Ah. That explains a lot, thanks -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 10:24, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Side Note

Hello Mr. Roxy, I am a 35 years old aracheogenetist and academic lecturer in the University, I am not a teenager, so please use more decent language while talking with me like what I am doing with you, I am not a vandal or sock puppet, I am just a scientific person who hates scientific dishonesty and misleading others, I might react harsh with scientific dishonest people, but that's because I respect science and myself. I am here for editing as a volunteer, you are n't my manager or something. I really think that registering on Misplaced Pages should be by using Identification card to avoid vandalism and sock puppeting which will save the community here a great deal of time wasted in fighting sock puppeting and vandalism and will also give more credibility. Moreover, I don't mind at all leaving Misplaced Pages if they don't want good users, it is OK :). Anyway, I plan with other scientists from around the globe to create an encyclopedia in the future and who knows it could be more famous than Misplaced Pages one day, it is crazy but there is nothing impossible. Regards. Ryanoo (talk) 00:27, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Please note that I will delete any further posts you make to this page for the time being. Not too long I hope, but that would depend. Thank you. -Roxy, the Prod. wooF 00:58, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Please don't threaten me, again in case you didn't read it, I am a 35 years old aracheogenetist and academic lecturer in the University, I am not a teenager, so please use a more decent language while talking with me like what I am doing with you. You can delete it all now if you want, it is your page and you are free to delete whatever you want on it. Thank youRyanoo (talk) 01:03, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
